Clinton Open to Being Veep Candidate

Obama never!
Country first, party second!

angie
What, exactly, has Obama won during the last couple of months?

I’m a woman for Hillary who will definately vote for Obama
Thankfully Obama has been very respectful to Hillary. I follow closely & he has been very careful never to personally attack Hillary
yes we do need Clinton supporters like me to get behind Obama
LET’S GROW UP!!

well s most of all the super delegates endorsements but can you answer my question im a little confused as to why they are and have been supporting him if hillarys argument is right please help me to understand i mean these supers are senators goveners all highly political people

Absolutely she needs time. She just withstood what most Amercians would buckle under. What a strong, formidable President she would be. Plus, who holds the power now, huh?
She has 18 million supporters THAT HE NEEDS TO WIN. He cannot do it without her, but I do not want her on the ticket as VP. I want him to go down on his frickin own.
WOMEN WILL REVOLT, AND THEY MAY NOT RIOT LIKE THE BLACK/COLLEGE VOTERS, BUT THERE WILL BE A QUIET RIOT IN THE VOTING BOOTH WHEN WE PULL THE LEVER FOR McCAIN!!!!

MY BAD! Sorry Angie that was for “S” which stands for…

As much as I detest Hillary Clinton, I wouldn’t mind if Obama offered her the VP spot.
My main concern was Obama not leading the ticket.
Now that it’s all but done, Obama would have a much better chance healing the riff sooner if she were VP… and she’s a great debater.
With that said I would rather another VP candidate

to S
“What, exactly, has Obama won during the last couple of months?”
DUH….DA DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION
By the rules set up by the democratic party, which Bill & Hillary helped to initiate

It will be a cold day in hell before I cast my vote for Barack Obama.
Hillary I’m sorry. You truly are a legend.
Hope I see you in 2012!
McCain ’08! Never Obama!

Let me tell you I will NOT vote for Obama if she is She will loose it for him and if he should just happen to get killed she becomes President NOT ON YOUR LIFE….They best realize will be the same ole crap if she is there NO WAYYYYYYYYYYYY..Jose……..

O.K. I’m an Obama woman and I’m super happy that my guy is the winner. Now, let the poor woman alone. This got to be difficult for her. I’ve have disliked the Clintons throughout this campaign; however, I respect other people’s difficult times, including Hillary.
Aha, you see that I can be gracious?

Mark,
Unfortunately, it’s the opposite grasshoppa. McCain will never be Prez. IT WILL BE OBAMA.
Did you know that denial is the last known defense mechanisms in humans? Errr, unless you’re unhuman, sounds like you show clear symptoms sonny.
Well, the good thing is that reality is just around the corner. In other words, right now you’re walking around like the two chickens claiming to be original Foster Farms chickens when in reality, you’re just a dumb cluck.
See you at the inauguration.
And, McCain is going to need all the votes he can scrape up. Sacrifice yours in vain. (LAUGH)

HILLARY SUPPORTS: DON’T FALL FOR THE SPIN.
This party is not your party anymore. Concede your principals and join Obama or vote your values somewhere else.
Those are your choices.

No way. No how. Do not offer her the VP slot, not after the way she & Bill have shown their true faces…trying to tear him down & us apart for their own gain. Enough of the Clinton’s games! The gall of her to even suggest it after the last few weeks (and Bill’s tirade yesterday) is mind boggling…they just don’t understand reality. As Kennedy said, we need someone with nobler aspirations.

Democratic women who vote for McCain because Hillary lost are losers just like she is. Obama played by the rules and won the nomination fair and square. It’s like losing a baseball game 4-3 and insisting you won because you got more hits than the other team. It’s not the hits, it’s the runs that count. It’s not the popular vote (which she really didn’t win anyway), it’s the delegates. You don’t get to play by different rules because you’re a woman. Get it?

Be careful Hillary, he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Stay away from him. We will write you in if you do not go Independent. Or we will vote McCain.

Is it “Pick Your Own Job” day?? =-)
3 reasons it’s a bad choice:
1. Obama needs more foreign policy/nat’l security on his ticket (Webb, Biden, Lugar =-), or someone like that would bring balance)
2. Who would be Obama’s food taster
3. Bill Clinton should not be allowed back in the White House.

@Angie,
I’m not going to answer your question first but I would like to ask you a question also.
Why the undecided SuperDelegates are still uncommitted until now even the rumors are so hot that Obama is going to be the nominee?

s…what is wrong with Michelle? She is very intelligent and gracious, plus she loves her family and this country…

By all means please Hillary catch your breath and make sure of the decision before you make one. I wish you could stay in – I really think he is going to crater with everything that is going to come out on him and I think Hillary knows that also. The International Press Corps is headed to Chicago to find out just who this man is. We do not know him because he is so new and will all that has already surfaced there is a big possibility there is more that will damage him big time in the general election – so I can certainly hear her concerns for the good of the party.

Hillary is open to being veep?
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

Bad Idea. This woman drew first blood. She needs to go away.

Hillary for Secy of State (perfect for her and Bill) or go back to the senate and wait for a Supreme Court position.
VP – Webb, Hagel or Bloomberg

She said :” so much pressure,,so much pressure..”
I’m sure that what happened to the SD’s also.
You know who is the DNC boss .

Of course she’s open to being VP. That was pretty clear when she refused to drop out of a race that she couldn’t win.
Personally, I think it would be a huge mistake to pick Hillary for one very BIG reason. McCain has a lobbyist problem that Obama can use against McCain in the General election. But if he chooses Hillary, who has relied heavily on lobbyist money to fund her campaign, then he loses his advantage on an issue that the majority of the country supports him on. It would pretty much tie his hands about even bringing up the fact that he’s not accepted lobbyist money in the campaign. It would really be a very foolish choice.

There’s no way Obama can offer Hillary the VP slot with her husband’s baggage. GOP will be all over Obama’s moral credentials with her as the VP. Sebelius is the right choice for VP!

catel…would you want the “hell” of Hillary coming down on you? That is why they are waiting to do thsi as a group so no one super is alone. They are cowards.

Hillary for Secy of State (perfect for her and Bill) or go back to the senate and wait for a Supreme Court position.
VP – Webb, Hagel or Bloomberg

debra…so what to hell is McCain going to do for our country?

as a strong obama supporter, i will like to see Hillary on the ticket. Folks i think this will be a wonderful ticket. And Obama can always appoint Bill to some cabinet position.

Hi Angie,
Both Obama and Hillary have run fantastic campaigns, but I think the Clinton campaign made a strategic error early on. Her campaign decided that it was not worthwhile to really contest the caucus states. Senator Obama was a huge winner of the caucuses. Second, the Clinton campaign made the mistake of over-estimating their appeal and strength. They were convinced that they would be the winners by the end of Super Tuesday. Things did not work out that way.
Senator Clinton and Senator Obama have widely divergent popular bases. They have both run terrific campaigns. After some 36,000,000 votes cast, they are barely separated by less than 300,000. That is a virtual tie statistically.
It is time to give up all the anger and posturing and start treating each other with respect. Just because someone’s opinion is different than yours is no reason to call them stupid or be disrespectful. That is for others more than you, Angie.

No honor nor moral ,thats why she is let Bill play with dirty women as liong she is in power.to many scandal corruption coming up bring him with her.
If Bo let her mean he is not good just llike her ,she is a whore and her husban lunatic pervert

For all the Democrats wanting to vote for McCain if Hillary doesn’t make it – please explain to me how John McCain’s stance on any major issue more closely aligns with the values of Hillary Clinton than do Barack Obama’s ideas.
Hillary and Barack have very similar voting records and platforms on all issues. Why is John McCain preferable?

Hill to Obama,
You don’t need to remind us to grow up. We all grown up already, maybe you people need to grow up since some of you are only college students.
Hillary supporters are very loyal to her.

It’s time to unite guys. I’ve seen this all along. And don’t be upset Obama Nation – He will pick Hillary as the VP. I’d bet my life savings on it. She has a very loyal following, their supporters are both avid, this country needs change in the worse way, no finer two people to make history TWICE and turn this country in the right direction. So both sides, suck it up, these people can work together.

I would not vote for Obama if he was the only one running – I do not trust him — not for one New York minute. Clinton will get my vote as a write-in on my ballot.

I don’t think that I can support Obama with or without Clinton on the ticket. I said that I wouldn’t vote for him and that is not likely to change even with her on the ballot. The Obama supporters are too hateful. The Press has been too biased. The DNC has been just completely stupid. This election has been hijacked and I don’t think that Hillary should have to take a “2nd place ribbon”. She’s the better, more experienced candidate.

I quess in the Democratic Party your vote does not count. My 15 yr old & 14 Yr old is trying to understand why super-delegates get to elect the presidential nominee and not the popular vote of the democratic party. Well this is not the first time my party has disappointed me but it will be the last. McCain for President!

I love America and it’s strong Women…sorry, but the men, I’m not so fussed about.
I have followed the campaign on a daily basis and now, after extensive investigative research, I passionately and whole heartedly support Hillary Clinton! I’m not saying that in 35 years she hasn’t made mistakes along the way. But, regardless of the hype, they have not been major, which is why the press jump all over her “misspeaks” so much!
Now, I am not about to quote chapter and verse here, giving references for you to check, because quite honestly,
it may be too late.
When I watched CNN’s live broadcast on Saturday’s DNC (so called) public meeting, I was shocked and I actually cried at the travesty of justice! 30 DNC negate 600,000 votes and get away with it…It’s morally and legally wrong! It was not democratic, it was dictatorial!!! I watched the whole debate, just as I have followed the whole warped campaign.
I listened to Sen Bill Nelson and the passionate words of Sen Joiner and was encouraged, believing that the so called Rules Committee would get it right. I listened to Harold Ickes at the end of the debate, at a loss for words, because of the total injustice, the decisions have totally negated the rights of the voters. It has set an example and it’s a matter of principle! Shame on DNC! I hope Hillary challenges this and takes it to the Credentials Committee in August, because this has been a total stitch up throughout! If you missed the Rules Committee farce:http://rezkowatch.blogspot.com/search?q=RezkoWatch+Electability+2008
Not only do they negate the choice of 600,000 voters but they give Obama the uncommitted votes, taking 4 delegates from Hillary to give to Obama! In the DNC constitution, it states that uncommitted means exactly that and remains so!!! Otherwise you may as well throw out the voting system with the bath water and just let the so called Rules Committee decide! As I’ve said before, the whole campaign is warped!
You think that a two term junior Senator is more qualified, more experienced than Hillary, who has tirelessly worked for the country over 35 years?! I don’t think so! I have looked into the company Obama keeps and whether you care to acknowledge it or not, the man is backed by Auchi, an Iraqi billionaire who gave Rezko, Obama’s campaign fund raiser, $3.5 million! Which is how Obama got his house! Yes you will be lead to believe that the corrupt money given by RezKo to Obama’s campaign was disposed of to charities…wrong! Obama kept $100,000…yes, I know, there’s no point in continuing down this train of thought, except to ask why, but nobody wants to know!
Oh and lets not mention that Obama is one of “Deans Dozen”, hand picked by Dean, who in my opinion, should be fired as DNC chairman! His personal prejudice regarding the Clintons affects his views in the campaign. But it is correct to say that Aiham Alsammarae, an ex Sadam minister, also financially backed Obama’s campaign…but hey, that obviously politics!
I agree with Nancy Pelosi, I think the campaign has been good for the democratic party, even though I think the process is screwed!
I think the voting system is a total waste of time and money and I believe it should be “one person one vote”! I think that a caucus can be easily rigged, the electoral collage and super delegates tend to negate the basic rights of the voters and if it were “count every vote” Hillary would be President! Because, so far, she has a minimum of 17 milion votes! More than any other Presidential candidate EVER!
I’ll conclude by saying McCain (who I call Mr McGoo)isn’t fit to run a sack race, never mind a country and, without upsetting the apple cart again by going into the reasons, I do not trust Obama and I don’t think he can beat McCain! The only candidate I would vote for is Hillary (but y’all knew that), not because she’s a woman, but because she is the only candidate for the job and I have hated to see the gendre bias being played and the way the press has sucked up to Obama etc etc…Yes, Hillary’s campaign wasn’t always managed well and, at important moments, she lost two of her key organisers…all this aside, she has fought a brilliant battle! She has said that she will go on until a nominee is elected, hoping that she will win and if not, she will work just as tirelessly as she has in the past for the nominee…I really do hope it will be Hillary!
My best wishes Hillary, because I believe the reason she’s had such bad press is because the Corp’Businessmen know that Hillary is for the working people, not the fat cats! They don’t want her! America, you have been hoodwinked into falling for the media lies and I hope that if Obama’s elected, there wont be more damage.
Am I passionate about this election?! “You bet your ass I am!”
Don’t be hoodwinked…
SUPPORT HILLARY NOW!!!

“Hill to Obama”,
I think there are more like you than the blogs would seem to indicate. BTW, I have been for Obama since before he was a candidate, but I was never against Hillary. Whatever happens, I have faith that Obama will pick the best person to balance out the ticket. Conventional wisdom says don’t do two “firsts” on one ticket, though, so first woman and first African American together on the same ticket?? I don’t know. But then again, conventional wisdom has been anything but conventional this season.
Who knows? Anyway, I just wanted to write you to tell you that I appreciate it that you recognize that, for however awful some (many!) in the media were to Hillary, Obama was and is respectful to her, even long after her chances of winning were slim.
I really hope everyone can come together. We can’t afford 4 more years of a Bush-like Republican. 2000 John McCain is a different guy than 2008 McCain! As Barack Obama says, some of the wheels have fallen off of the Straight Talk Express since 2000!

I won’t vote for Obama ever! Period.. That’s it!

Well, if Obama thinks that he wants to take on 2 VPs then he should offer it to the Clintons because we all know that we will be getting 2 for the price of one.
I hope that he won’t offer it to Hillary though unless she unload Bill because he will be the loose cannon who will cause trouble for her.
I wished that she unload him years ago, but, we don’t all get what we wish for.

Don’t do it Hillary!!! Run in 2012 after McCain beats Obama in 2008

Last thing the Democrats need for a fresh start is Hillary for VP. It would put a huge albatross on Obama.

I hope she does not bend to the koolaid drinkers and accept the VP spot. She has shown herself to be a great leader – much more so than Obama. She kept going despite having the entire force of the right and left media against her almost from the outset.
Hillary in 2012!!!

The position has been filled.

Hillary say NO. he is not an acceptable or qualified candidate. Go independent and be John McCain’s VP.
The Democrats have treated you and all women like garbage. Tell them to stick it where the sun don’t shine. if they want to nominate an unelectable candidate through election fraud, let them. Don’t save him. Dont do them any favours.
McCain/Clinton ’08

If Hillary got the nomination would she need to have Obama on the ticket to get the black vote? Also, why haven’t all these undecided superdelagates made up their minds? What are they waiting for? Especially since everyone has been saying that Obama was going to get the nomination.

Hillary for Secy of State (perfect for her and Bill) or go back to the senate and wait for a Supreme Court position.
VP – Webb, Hagel or Bloomberg

This attitude of “I won’t vote for Hillery or I won’t vote for Obama” makes me laugh!!! You could put them both behind a wall have have them write out their points of view and what they have to offer the county and I’ll bet you couldn’t tell who wrote which essay. Typical I’m going home and I’m taking my ball with me attitude. That is why the democrats will not win in November.

Oh good God. What little chance Obama had in November is pretty much tubed if he takes her on the ticket. That is, if he doesn’t have an “accident” before November. Having Hillary as one heartbeat away from the Presidency would certainly make me want to have the de-fib paddles handy if I was him.

While she may have many detractors she was still voted for by almost half of the democrats who voted. That’s not small potatoes by any means. There are just as many people on her side who feel the same way about Obama. It’s time everyone started behaving as adults here. This is CRAZY.

Obama Supporter!!! Who do you think you are telling Hilliary supporters to leave the Democratic party!!! I earned my right to be part of this party, you are probley a johnnie come lately. Obama has a big problem with the race issue and people supporting him have not behaved any better than Bill Clinton so get off your high horse. The record is that young college students do not turn out for the general election and if Illinois is any indicator, in the primary the college turn was lower than previous years and that is his home state. He will need every Hilliary supporters vote. You need to stop this hate and get real!!!!

No Hillary! Time for new blood. Remember all the shady deals the Clintons did and all the barely leagal things, and then how she ran the campaign, fear, lies, stirring racial issues, hate Clinton…..time for new blood, time for change. This Republican is voting for Obama, but will not vote for Clinton.

Adding her to his “Change we can believe in” ticket would destroy a large part of his voter base. She and Bill are OLD POLITICS and he has built his campaign on this truth. To suddenly embrace her and install her as his best buddy, VP, would be a huge mistake on his very well planned rise to the presidency. I have no intention of doing anything to support the Clintons, nor does anyone I know. She and Bill are a liability, unscrupulous, go beyond embellishing to outright LYING and can’t focus on issues because of a love of personal attacks and game playing. NO more Hillary!

Way to go Krissy K….we do need to get it out there a no vote, or a write in or any other vote….is letting Obama inch closer to WH. It MUST be a vote for McCain if not Hillary.
I’m just sorry that I and millions like me, can’t stand him enough, that even if Hillary is offered VP, it won’t take the stink off him.

All of this anger needs to stop now. Making comments like, “the queen is dead, we don’t need her racist white voters” is just plain frightening. Obama does need all of those voters, even more so now. A general election is very different than a primary between 2 people who basically agree on 99% of the issues. Moderates and Independents make up a huge percentage of the electorate now than ever before. This is not american idol, this is a real, adult election. McCain is a very strong candidate and Obama will have to work hard to win in November. Don’t take my word, ask any legitimate political analyst(not chris matthews or Keith Olberman)

I call for no more republican in the White house. At least for the next 8 years. Well done guys let go get McPain.

The whole point of an Obama candidacy is to renounce all that Mr. Clinton and her husband stand for. I have been for Obama all along, and if he were to be convinced to accept Mrs. Clinton as his VP, I would consider that a sell out and vote for McCain. Don’t sell out Mr. Obama you will lose all your credibility…………….

It’s obvious from some of the comments that we have mathematics failures. Considering that Obama has the nomination delegate count, Clinton doesn’t really have the luxury of prolonging concession.

Paying 5 bucks for gas does not appeal to me whatsoever. Hillary was my choice until March and something changed for me. But at no time would I ever consider voting for McC. We really do need to unite.
Time heals all wounds.

I promised myself a long time ago that I would NEVER AGAIN vote for a Clinton. If Obama picks her as a running mate, the Obama ’08 sticker comes off my car and I’ll vote for Nader.

It all comes down to Hillary – if she doesn’t get the nomination – how she reacts. Many of her followers are waiting to see.. she is much more powerful than people know.
If she is not the veep… he will lose against mcsame.
She has certainly proven we are ready for a woman president and she “did good girl”.. !!! Beware committee… this is a big decision.

A political marriage between Obama and Hillary is that of necessity. We have no idea how his other VP’s will affect voters. We know how Hillary has polled in every single state. However you want to count the popular vote–the result is the same. The country is split.
The Democrats are still trying to win the Big Show. They have to work as a team. Every good team has super-sized egos that at times outshine the team control (Bill is like T.O. from the Dallas Cowboys). As long as Bill is willing to back the QB, this should not be a problem.

The people here screaming no Obama are nothing more than Limbaugh/Hannity quoting self righteous Republicans posing as Hillary supporters. Most don’t have any thoughts or arguments of their own, they just toss out the bashing comments they hear on the radio. Good by Hill-publicans, Obama is going to be the next President of the United States of America and will work hard to clean up the mess GWB and company has created.

two months ago I would have said there is no way in heck he should pick her for vp………….but it IS very close and I feel that her supporters deserve to have her on the ticket
(Except for the ignorant crazies who threaten to vote their ‘principles’ and vote mccain,…if he represents your principles than you are a republican. Its not a personality contests, aside from that mccain cheated and dumped his first wife when he found out she was disabled…hardly a feminist icon)
. Obama supporters lets not kid ourselves it hasn’t been a blow out and he is limping towards the finish. However, the clintons need to be vetted. Obama hasn’t attacked them personally so I wonder what is out there. I find it hard to believe that Bill left behind a lifetime of womanizing once he got out of the limelight.

OBAMA/HILLARY 08 !!!!! my only problem is Bill Clinton, can someone just keep the man out of the country of the next six months?

Dave,
Respectfully, would it be to much to ask for some evidence to back your claims?
Thank you greatly.
Namaste

Picking Hillary as a running mate is completely off Obama’s message of ending the status quo in Washington. I hope he doesn’t cave.

If Hilary is willing to become a team player, why can’t the rest of you bitter people follow her lead?
She has weather the storm and faught an amazing fight but through it all she’s willing to put all the bad blood aside and unite with her party. although I’Ve supported Barack from day one, I have to say I admire her more today than I did at the beginning of this process. She is a tenatious competitor and she stands by what she believes.
Well done HRC!
Now that I’ve gotten all that out of the way…..GO OBAMA!!!!!

Nydia Velazquez thinks she speaks for all voting Latinos in America? Please. How insulting! This Latino has never even heard of her. Obama ’08

Did the press bother to mention that on Saturday when the DNC was meeting that BHO resigned from his church so his name would be on all the TV channels while we were watching the DNC meeting? He was trying to steal that show.

Instead of allowing her ripple in the pond to subside, she throws another rock. Now, all of the women who are only voting for her because she is a woman have been given another reason not to vote for Barrack if she is not crowned VP. He has the right to choose whomever he feels fits his platform. I hope it isn’t the person who has tried every smear tactic possible to bring him down. For months she has been telling us that Barrack is not suited for the Presidency. Why all of a sudden would she want to align herself with him? To bad she can’t just throw her support behind him, be quiet, and let the cards fall where they may. She and Bill are the worst losers ever, and they continually find new ways to show it! I hope Barrack does not fall for this power play of hers.

Contrary to the opinion of some Obama supporters hrre, I don’t think there is anything wrong with Clinton being VP, if Obama asks her to. Clinton ran a spirited contest, as she should. You don’t run this race not to win, and you need to do whatever it takes to win it. Her supporters expect no less. She did that, and just happens to come up short. They are both very capable candidates, but of course there can only be one winner.
I think they would make a great team that will unify the Dems (except of course for those intransigent people who will never budge if their candidate lost, but then there will always be a few of those). Their policies are very similar, and that’s why they had to run on issues of perception such as “experience” or “change”. An Obama-Clinton candidacy would indeed be a dream ticket, very hard to beat. I hope Obama considers this when he chooses his running mate.

Reading through these posts is absolutely frightening. You’re of the same ilk who put Bush in the White House for not one, but TWO terms, because of ignorance and fear. And now that we actually have a chance to have a STATESMAN in the White House for the first time in my lifetime, you would petulantly throw your vote away on ‘Bush Part II’ because you refuse to face the fact that Hillary just doesn’t measure up to the task. She has bankrupted her campaign, she has aligned herself with disreputable individuals, she has lied and ran an ongoing negative campaign and despite it all – you still want her. Fellow women, it doesn’t matter if Hillary is a woman, she is simply not capable and not worthy of running this country! She needs to do what is best for the country (and not for herself for once) and step aside and you all need to wake up and see that a vote for John McCain is simply another ignorant vote for the continuation of the despicable administration we’ve endured for what’s going on 8 years now, and our children deserve better.

i think if not vp he will give her a very important position,
love to see her get involved in health care reform or something similar…

there is no way I will vote for Obama! PLEASE Hillary don’t put yourself in this position! Obama is just too green to be our next president. I will have to vote McCain.

I’m an independent who voted for Obama in the Wisconsin primary because I cannot bear the thought of Bill and Hillary Clinton back running the White House, not to mention the entire country. If Obama takes Hillary for his running mate, I’m sorry, but I have to vote McCain in November. Even if his wife is the vice-president, we KNOW Bill will be front and center, he’s not taking a back seat to anybody, even if his wife has the vice-presidential job and he has NO job. I’ve always said that if the general election would come down to Obama vs. McCain, that I would be satisfied either way. If it’s Obama/Clinton, sorry, I have to vote McCain.

Goodness!!!! you people have being watch to much cable news with all this garbage about Hillary and Obama. These are the same cablenews who sold us the war in Iraq, I can not believe you guys trust them.

Half the country loves her, the other half positively HATES her. Not a good choice for a running mate.

Shirley Roybal – if she’s that intelligent, why is she still trying to figure out if she won or not??

Someone please explain why Obama is getting such anger from some Hillary supporters? I understand that there is a perception that the media has elevated him, but that’s not Obama’s doing. If you remember, the media narrative at the beginning was that Hillary was the presumptive nominee. That narrative had to change when Obama won 10 contests in a row. Now, it’s just a matter of the math, and it has been for quite awhile. Some Hillary supporters get mad that the media says Obama is the likely nominee, but this is based on actual electoral calculations, not some conspiracy to keep there candidate down.
Hillary supporters who say “never Obama”, ask yourself, are you helping this country with that kind of reasoning? Putting our country in danger out of spite?

ok – Folks – either you believe in Universal HC and ending the war or you don’t. This isn’t a popularity contest and voting for McCain b/c Hillary couldn’t beat Obama just clearly shows that you don’t know why you were voting for Hillary in the first place. Their positions are parallel (and the anthesis of John McCain).

Strong Eagle – can you say “premptive war??” Does that make you feel “safe”?
Before you vote this fall, you might want to think about how safe you are with McCain.

American needs to grow up and unite. All the bickering and back and forth between both Democats; it needs to stop. We need to unite as 1 and show everyone how things can be done…the right way.

Biden and Lugar ect. what a joke they did not get even a single vote in MI.

Hillary for VP, no chance that would be a very costly blunder for Obama,
talk about plotting a ‘palace coup’ on day one

Hillary CANNOT be VP! There is entirely too much footage of her slamming Barrack from the campaign. The RNC and McSenile will use swift boat the both of them and manipulate votes. That is what happens when you run an unsavory campaign. Say good night. Too bad. Next!

ok, I’m now voting for McCain!
Will not support Obama-Clinton ticket.

Hillary says she’s ahead in the popular vote. From a mathematical standpoint, she would receive 300,000+ votes from Michigan and Obama would gain 0 votes. Second, he wasn’t on the ballot. Those who voted “non-committed” could have been voting for Obama, Edwards, or others. Also, delegates are proportional, so why is she behind 182 delegates if she’s “ahead by 300,000 votes?” Even with half of Michigan and Florida, she might lead or at least be only slightly behind Obama in delegates.
08AMA

She won’t even concede the race to Obama yet, she is still threatening to take the fight to the convention, and now she is trying to pressure him into picking her. What a psychotic bit@@.
Run Obama Run. Get as far away from her as possible. Save the country and save yourself. Run far away from her.

i am all for it obama doesnt need hillary to win in the fall but it will be even more of a margin he beats mccain with her as v.p. OBAMA/CLINTON 08

HP Boston: I want to echo what you said:
It will be a cold day in hell before I cast my vote for Barack Obama.
Hillary I’m sorry. You truly are a legend.
Hope I see you in 2012!
McCain ’08! Never Obama!

I hope he rejects her like the PLAGUE!!

“To say Obama needs Hillary’s followers is disingenous because in reality, most will support Obama as the Democratic nominee because they know to do the right thing for their Country and for themselves.”
Don’t be so sure!!!
This is a poor assumption given the fact that in my lifetime I have never seen such a disgusting Democratic Primary. People across America have been called racist, uneducated, and an assortment of other nasty names by Obama’s Supporters simply becuase they supported a very capable woman that the media has referred to as a vaginal candidate and a white bitch. IT WENT TO FAR TO FORGIVE! Obama was smart to register new voters, but stupid to allow them to insult lifelong core Democarts on blogs, in the media, and everywhere else! We might just be able to hold our nose and vote McCain if he pushes the right buttons!

LOL the clintons are the slickest people on earth, with this huge announcement all over the mass media, there is no way in hell obama can turn her down for the VP slot if he does it will make obama look like a woman hating sexist snob.
Good one Hillary. Good one.

OBAMA NEEDS TO OPERATE FROM A POSITION OF STRENGTH AND END THIS CLINTON DRAMA, NOW! THE SECOND HE HITS THE DELEGATE THRESHOLD, HE SHOULD DECLARE HIS VP (SOMEONE *OTHER* THAN CLINTON), AND END THIS THREE MONTH CLINTON DISASTER TRAIN-WRECK.

Although I have was not old enough prior to 1990, as a child growing up in South Carolina, where the Republicans dominate, I had ALWAYS wondered why the REPUBLICANS always SEEMED to WIN…….
News FLASH: I was dumb enough to join the official party of emotional blackmaileers.
While the Hillary supporters sit on the sideline crying because of their attempt to make the Clintons our royal family, the REPUBLICANS will gladly accept their votes.
If you think conditions in the US cannot get worse, vote for McCain and the Republicans will GLADLY continue to erase what’s left of the New Deal.
With a damaged middle class in a post-Bush era, McCain (who admits to knowing very little about economics) will be the NEXT-BEST thing to Hoover.
To be cont…
(What about the courts???) There goes the country you be dedicated to…..(COUNTRY, not family or person).

Hillary is in a State Of Denial, ducking sniper fire, say+promise anything full speed ahead to the White House. The Delegates+Superdelegates can see thru that, only some common persons cannot see it

We can do what is easy. We can go on living as we do. We can destroy the environment. We can delay the inevitable with tax holidays. We can bankrupt our country’s future. We can continue living in fear of foreign governments. We can let our children pay for the consequences of our inaction. We can vote for McCain.
Or we can come together for change.
Obama is our only hope, our last hope.

At least this will make the wicked Pelosi quiet we will have Clinton to an office greater than hers.

If Obama picks Clinton as his running mate this woman will vote for McCain, no second thoughts needed here. Clinton should have dropped out a long time ago, we do not need her as our Top Leader! I think there are other candidates that dropped out early in the race that would make a better VP than Clinton.

No way Obama asks Hillary to be on the ticket. Barark Obama has too much integrity to allow a snake like Hillary anywhere near the White House.
OBAMA ’08

It would be the smartest thing. Let’s hope Obama is smart enough and man enough.
Otherwise, I’m not voting for him.

America we need to unite we can’t have McCain serve Bush’s 3rd term. We need to stand together regardless of what happens. I don’t really care too much for Hillary, however if she needs to be on the ticket for Americans to vote for change then so be it. We can’t afford four more years of high gas prices, high groceries, layoffs, horrible healthcare, and a lack of focus towards education.
Let’s Unite!!!
Obama ’08/’12

come on democrats lets get behind our party—-i am obama all the way and always have been but if hillary was the one getting the nomination i would vote for her but that is not the case so i am for hillary as v.p. she can help him and he can help her just think people her as v.p. will almost guarntee 16 years of a democrat in the whitehouse 8 years for obama 8 years for clinton

Because Hillary’s argument is WRONG. She doesn’t have the popular vote. She discounts all the caucus states that voted and includes Michigan where Obama wasn’t on the ballot. She fibs so much, she actually believes her lies. Like dodging Bosnia fire, and a right wing conspiracy behind her husband’s infidelity.

Bonnie I am with you I will not vote for him if she is on this ticket,first something would happenand guess who would fill the seat?????Right ,second that would be her again for 8 more years this ocuntry can not stand this NEW we wanted CHANGE Obama not the Clintons.You will have lost a vote for an IND I hope they read these.

Well since the Clinton’s know all about vice so she would be ready on day one.

There is no way he can defeat Mccain without Hillary on the ticket. If Hillary agrees to be his running mate I still wont vote for him.

Longhornmama,
I agree.
We all know McCain once against Bush policy and he is kind of half Democrat.
All he need is to reform some his policy and make it fit into Democrat.
I hope he can do that.

How does this woman stand up without falling down considering all the “spinning” she does. In the world of Clinton she’s winning the nomination based upon the popular vote. Nevermind not a single other political analysist comes up with the same numbers and conclusion but in Clinton’s world, she’s winning.
Clinton says we should not seat Florida and Michigan delegates because they broke the rules. Of course, that was before she decided she needed them. Suddenly her position is, “we have to count those votes.”
She has the audacity to offer Obama the vice presidency when he is winning this nomination then says she would never consider being the VP. Now she’s saying she’s open to the possibility.
This woman isn’t just slightly shifting her position on issues, she’s doing a 360. And some of you people think she’s the better candidate? Are you kidding me? Are you that insane and ill informed? Or are you all so busy doing those same things in your personal lives that what she’s doing is perfectly acceptable.
How can you trust anything this woman says? Considering the primary job of the VP is to sit around and wait for the President to die, who’d want that thing, that woman, watching their back? I say after the polls close this evening we ship her and her ridiculous husband to some third world country. Let’s send her daughter too.

I hope that Sen. Obama is not dumb enough to let her on the ticket. You can’t convince me that given all of the negativity Bill & Hill have spewed makes her even a viable choice. Besides does Obama even want to have Bill in the back ground second guessing him. If you put her on the ticket you’ve lost my vote.
Gene

The Clintons just solidified the GOPs to rally behind McCain by shamelessly offering herself as the Veep. I don’t know if this will really rally her sycophants to the ticket as much as it will backfire and positioned her well for 2012. This offer puts Barack in a quandry as refusing to offer the VP slot even as a courtesy will incite her sycophants with rage. On the other hand, the Clinton baggage might be too heavy for him to carry the campaign with dexterity. Aside from that, Barack can’t count on her loyalty as shown at every turn in this campaign how they tried to sink him by hook or by crook. When some scandal erupts in a Barack WH through no fault of him, you can count that Hill will demand to sacrifice the King so she can be crowned the Queen ! That’s the reality in having the Clintons. I definitely would like to vanish them to political oblivion and spare the country from their psycho narcissistic drama and redefining “is” and fairy tale of sniper fire ! If Barack wants to stick to the slogan of change, then the Clintons are not the right partners. Dump her and all her sycophants !

This story proves that this nomination process is about sexism. The Dem. Party has stream-lined their super liberal candidate in our faces. And now they need Hillary to help Obama win in Nov. she shouldn’t go for it. Maybe she should be his secretary.

I will not be happy if Hillary Clinton in the choice for VP….and it sounds as if Obama may be forced to choose her…there’s been too much dirt slinging for them to actually run together.

By making herself available if Obama chooses, Clinton wants to make herself appear to be the scorned woman when he doesn’t offer the VP to her. That way, she can hurt Obama AND the party even further. Clinton ruined her chances for the #1 slot with a horribly botched campaign. Now she thinks her ‘entitlement’ should be extended to a share of the ticket. Her plan of a co-presidency won’t fly with Obama or the nation. (Remember, Ford offered to do that with Reagan, who wisely said no.) Hillary, you can pick out a new pantsuit for the prom… but the big dance isn’t in the cards for you.

Oh YES, I am SMART enough to vote for McCain regardless of Hillary’s becoming part of the “Dream Ticket”. The DNC has played ugly, cheating politics in this campaign and the leaders need to be dumped as quickly as they have dumped Clinton. To H with the DNC and obama.
Never would obama get my vote if he reincarnated JFK or RFK to run along side him. He is a charlatan and a criminal. And his background will be called forth when he runs against McCain and I don’t think any Dream Ticket will save him.
The DNC will implode in November and I say its about time.
Sorry Hillary, you gave it a grand fight, but the fact that the DNC now, NOW – needs you for obama to win is just pathetic. I hope you are woman enough to stand back and tell then where to head. You could win the presidency if you go Independent and raise a lot of money at the same time as an Independent. You should really consider this. You can bring this country back together and I really think that John McCain would help you in this. To H with obama and DNC – they will only raise taxes on the “typical white person” so obama can spend it on promises made when campaigning. Why is it that people do not see this?

48.92 is what Obama has of the Dem vote so far…I missed Hillary’s number…but he sure as hell needs her 18 millions voters behind him. He’ll lose alot anyways for his UnAmerican aura….and even with Hillary, it’s McCain’s in Nov.

Why are we having these conversations? Let’s get over it and get behind Obama. My Candidate didn’t win and I am big enough to support the Democratic Party regardless of the person representing. We must continue to hold ALL of our elected officials accountable…blacks, whites and others!
Women who consider voting for McSame to spite Obama, will be hurting us all. I don’t believe that women will do that. It is painful for us all right now, but we need to heal…right now!!!!

OBAMA/CLINTON 08 ——get used to it people that si what it will be

I’m up for a Obama/Clinton ticket. Just to see Pelosi and CO. sweat, now that golden boy would have Hillary, and they wont be able to pull his strings.

HRC as VP is the nightmare ticket, not the dream ticket. WJC is the wild card that makes this unacceptable. She should have shed him before running for the Senate

Hillary as Obama’s VP choice? NO WAY! Taking into consideration all the nasty things that Hillary and her supporters have said about Obama he shouldn’t reward her with the VP slot. That position should go to a person with integrity (which Hillary lacks) and someone with a strong military background (to counter John McCain’s military service). To me, the VP slot should go to Senator Jim Webb of Virginia.

It would be a catastrophic error in judgement for Hillary Clinton to be on the ticket.
How can two walk together unless they agree? With Bill, Obama is toast. That man is a megalomaniac.

No way Democrats will vote for obama.

My husband is a Republican and he knows I support Hillary, but asked me a couple of days ago “wouldn’t you respect her more if she rejected an offer from him, KNOWING his anti-white, anti-jew, anti-American associations”? I said absolutely. She needs to reject him in a way it won’t be perceived as hurting the party….let him go down on his own…run in 4 years after McCain’s term.

What a shame if Obama wins with Clinton on the ticket! So my vote goes to McCain no matter who is on Obama’s ticket. How could she have another shot in 4 years if Obama wins? Please everyone, NoBama ever!!!!

Hilary Clinton will be disastrous for Obama’s vision of a new America and a new world order. He is what Clinton is not: positive attitude to life and even to his opponents. Clinton is uncapable of that. Kathleen Sabelius will a good running mate for Obama. If Clinton has had the idea of being a running-mate, she should not have tried to destroy Obama by voting for McCain. Politically, the Clintons are finished.

Senator Obama should not offer the VP slot to Hillary Clinton. She cannot be trusted. Let’s not forget “Bosnia” and her attempts to count the votes in Michigan wherein his name wasn’t even on the ballot.

Sounds like a lot of McCain supporters on this blog trying to stir up trouble…
Bottom line… Democrats will unite and McCain and the Republican party are toast.
The Republican trademark need a super rework after GW and Foxnews destroyed it. Maybe in 2016….

Obama’s supporters need to get a clue. If he does not offer her the VP slot, he’s doomed come November. There is no way now he’s going to win the General Election if Hillary is not on the ticket. They are almost equal with the votes. There is no other viable candidate that Obama can choose that has the momemtum that Hillary has. PERIOD!

No way Nancy will share power with another woman. She controls the convention and she controls the perks the congressional supers get.

The delegates are much like the electorial college both systems are out of date. The popular vote is the only thing that should matter. It is amazing how we all have our favorites. Personally I find that all politicians will kiss as many babies and say what ever they have to to get elected. When in reality they can only accomplish 10% of what they promise. Yet we are more likely to believe the one that has the best speech, simply poetic. Personally, I want a war horse. Someone that has been in the trenches. I am thinking John McCain especially since Hillary is out.

USmarine0331 – I heard that you “secretly agreed” with something bad one of your friends said a few years back. You should be shunned, I say, SHUNNED!

Memo to Hillary: Men don’t like needy women, and you’re sounding needier and needier with each passing day. The only way Obama would ever consider you for veep is if you managed a quickie-divorce from Bill like, yesterday. He’s the real reason you lost.

Hillary hasn’t fogotten about Bobby K. Yeah I’ll be veep.

Linus Bern
Nobody wants war with Iran. I’m sure he doesn’t either. I don’t.
I don’t want to sound like a hypocrite but when Hillary said she would nuke Iran, so be it. There must be an excellent reason for her saying it.
So the answer you get from me is…So!?!
Everything else you state proves he is a moderate. Not some ultra right wing extemeist worse than limbaugh or something.

It must be painful for the Clinton’s, who were the media darlings 16 years ago to deal with the fact that the media has crowned a new king, and it isn’t the Clinton’s. More important, will the American public see through the actions of a corrupt media who can make or break candidates. Because that is exactly what has happend this time around.

S.. the “H” stand for “HA” you didn’t think I could do it

We want our society free from fear and lies, who respect civil liberties, freedom and justice, the very foundation of this nation. Not controlled by fear-and-war mongers, ignoring the constitutions and the principles our country is built upon. We need to bring back the greatness of this nation not only in the heart of its people but also in the eyes of all people all over the world. And Obama has heart and chance to do that. Let us vote for Obama.

Webbstir, it drives me nuts for people to say that Hillary didn’t win the popular vote. YES, SHE DID. Only this stupid group of 30 DNC people decided that they wouldn’t count towards delegates, but as a point of law and our constitution, when a vote has been certified as it was in both states, it counts as a vote. Now if you want to argue about delegates, yes, I concede. But not on votes. This committee violated the most important right we have as Americans. That is to COUNT EVERY VOTE. Article 12 also demands that the vote they gave Obama from Michigan is the invalid count. Uncommitted votes by law must stay uncommitted.

When it’s all said and done we are all equal,black or white men or women we all breath the same air and that’s “life” period.

We don’t need Hillary supporters!
Go vote for McCain!
You are not needed!
Losers. Losers. Losers.

I never realized how stupid and naive white middle class women are in this country.
OBAMA ’08

Hillary for VP
Bill for assistant VP
I like it!

Obama is a fake. Anybody that votes for him is garbage. He hasn’t done ANYTHING but give speeches. He never talks about his policies EVER. Why would anybody vote for him??

unfortunately hillary conducted a very negative, divisive campaign, which is just what our country DIDN’T need, especially considering that we’re actively fighting a war on two fronts, and cannot trust our “allies.” We need someone who can unit us as a nation, focus our energy as a nation, bring the American people together, stop the race baiting and race hating. As Obama comes from a mixed race background, remember, he’s both white and black, perhaps he is better suited to heal the rifts that have torn apart American society and guide us to being that great society envisioned by our forefathers. Yes indeed, God bless America, and God bless our next president, Mr. Barack Obama ! ! !

I don’t want anyone to confuse my comments as Republican on this blog. I have voted for Democrats for 30 years. But I called John McCain’s office and asked if he would be willing to have national town halls to meet ONLY WITH DEMOCRATS. I want to know if his views on the environment, economy and the war can be balanced more toward the center. If they can, McCain is the guy to vote for. He absolutely loves this country and has sacrificed a lot personally to serve the people. That has to matter also in the equation of what’s on the ballot.

First of all, how humiliating for Hillary to be VP. Secondly, she will never play second fiddle and all we need is WW3 in the White House. This is a very bad idea. Obama needs to keep the theme of change and pick someone new. This is one case of “we do not need to recycle”. Clintons are phonies……please lets get a new start.

what a damn shame…she should have the nomination. Obama has to at least offer it to her to appease some of her staunch supporters (like me) but I think she should NOT take it and then McCain will win and another great woman democrat can run in 2012 and Obama will be history. Obama is going down…

The way republicans have swamped the blogs claiming to be democrats and blaming, insulting and accusing Obama from not brushing his teeth to not having what it takes to be president surely gives me cause for hope.
This year in this cycle the year of Obama has begun. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me especially if its written by nitwits in lala-land.
Obama is going to win the Presidency!!! no amount of crying, screaming, whinning, sulking, selective amnesia and plain stupidity will stop Obama from the white house

Hillary Clinton as Independent. not with obama please, Democrats won’t vote for obama even with Hillary as VP.

It makes political sense for Obama to consider Hillary amongst all the other possibilities for VP but under no circumstances should he be compelled to take her on the ticket if the ticket will loose in November. As is becoming obvious the criticism of Bill and Hillary will keep the press busy and the press focus on Bill’s women on the trail, whether fair or unfair, true or untrue may seem newsworthy for some unethical journalists quite appropriately characterized by Bill as s–bags, the focus should be on issues that can change America for the better and to win the hearts of the world once again. My different perspective on Bill is that he has campaigned tirelessly for his wife and has supported her more than any political husband I have known and watched, I would rate him as the husband of the year 2008 and I would rate the journalist from Vanity fair as the worst journalist of 2008. Tabloid style nasty Journalists who think that selective negativity sells and scandals sell are not serving the readers who want the truth in reporting and fairness in journalism.

If I were Obama, I would never give her the VP. She will try anything to be the President. There are only a few circumstances in which a VP steps up to be president, and none is good for Obama. Remember what she said about Robert Kennedy?

LonghornMama – The why did ALL of the Clinton supporters vote to nullify the Michigan election in the first place? Apparently it wasn’t so sacred back THEN. What is different now?

Don’t live in illusion. McCain will surtely be the next president.

Obama is Professor of U.S.Constitutional Law in University of Chicago and work for Illionis Senate office for years prior to U.S.Senate. We need a President who understand the importance to defend our constitutions, freedom, justice, civil rights, and knows how to implement these principles into policies in economy, education, homeland security, foreign policy, that benefit not only the American people but also people around the world. It’s time to change. Let us vote for Obama.

Since she can’t enter and win the democratic platform for Prez, why not join McCain? It’d be pefect for her. If he makes it through the first term she’ll have it in the bag for the second. If he doesn’t make it through the first term God help us all.

Dream team!

I am a women and an Obama supporter. I don’t want her as VP. We always hear about her supporters and what they want and don’t want. Also, I don’t want to pick up debt. If Hillary supporter couldn’t support her financially, why should we?
Plus, she voted for the war!

It appears that all of the women who have supported Hillary and are determined to vote for John McCain in November are blinded by their anger. It appears that they are choosing to be victims. If they had any sense of logic – they would realize that John Mc Cain if elected will have the power to appoint to the the Supreme Court a justice that could overturn women’s
right to choose. Tragic that these women consider themselves feminists. Wake up !!

McCain will surely be next president!

With Hillary on the ticket, Obama can say bye bye Independents and Republicans!

Obama’s crazy if he puts her on the ticket. People in the Clintons’ way tend to disappear.

Amy..a no vote allows Obama to inch his way closer to the WH….please vote McCain and Hillary will run again in 4 years…I am a Hillary supporter too.

While there is no doubt that Hillary Clinton would be the superior candidate for President there are apparently a lot who disagree with my thoughts. I believe the Democratic Party leaders are at fault for her potential loss to Obama by not allowing Michigan and Florida the full, 100% of votes and delegates. They have effectively manipulated the outcome of the nomination process and removed the voting priviledges of 50% of the voters in these two states. BUT be that as it may, I would never, ever vote for McCain to ‘spite’ Obama. Our country cannot tolerate another 4 years of the Bush tyranny. Now, if Obama doesn’t choose her for the VP spot he needs his head examined.

joyce——-yes

Is is amazing how all of us on this blog see the same events unfold and yet we all have a different interpertation. So I guess I might just as well be just
as foolish. There is no way Obama will win! Most of the states he has won are Red states that will never go Blue. For example, North Dakota, has a population of 650,000, even if you said half were to young to vote, only 18,000 turned out for
a caucus that was open to all Democrats or those who are planning to vote Democrat. The whole state government is Republican except for three legislators. Get serious. The whole Obama thing was a mistake. There is nothing new about his politics and he is far to inexperienced. Thank you Obama supporters for giving me another four years of getting nothing done!

Wow, it is amazing to read all of these comments! I do think Hillary has a better chance at president but if not I believe her position as VP would only increase the chance for Obama. I would love to see a change in office but I think without Hillary I will only have McCain to choose.

“Yes!
Men rule!
Now – on your knees, Chelsea!!!
Hahahahaha!!!”
This poster’s comment is indicative of WHY Obama will lose. In all my years of voting, I have never seen such a lack of gentility as these “supporters” of his portray. When you go trawling for children as votes, this is what you get. Just for McCain.

The world needs feminine energy to run the U.S. for a change. Hillary is anything but. Woman does not equal feminine energy. I think an Obama-Edwards ticket would at least set US on a better course. Truely great men never run for office- but these guys not bad in my book.

Here it is folks Hillary will try to tease the folks so she looks like a team player ….but she is waiting for the other shoe to drop. Mrs. Obama is on tape makeing a rant way beyond what ever any one has heard so far. IT will come out in the next few days and it will take the nations breath away. Hil feels that when this happens she will be there to receive the banner. It is a plan and it is going to work as it is her last shot. She wanted to knock him over but then get him on the ticket so she can carry the black vote. It is along shot but there it is …..Now if McCain had this tape he would hold it until the convention is over and sink the Obama wagon right then when it is too late. So as it is coming out now who do you think really has the tape?

Are you Hillary supprters really ready to cast your lot with a man who called his own wife the C-word in public? If he has no respect for her, and she’s with him all the time, what will he think of you who he never has to lay eyes on? Are you really ready to watch the Supreme Court flip to the conservatives? Remember, McCain has already pledged to vote for conservative judges. Do you know why things are so expensive lately? Because of the weak dollar. The dollar is being weakened by inflation directly caused by the war. Those of you who were around in 1973, 74, 75 should recognize it. McCain has pledged to continue this war. Are you prepared to cut off your nose to spite your face? Vote for McCain, and you will be doing just that.
If Obama offends you that much, stay home in November. But don’t actively flush the USA down the toilet just because your girl couldn’t win.

Obama’s moral compass Pfleger was put on leave. Still, the fact that Obama acknowledged he was his moral compass explains why the puppet has the morals he has. Nothing is sacred to this man. Nothing!

From reading the posts here, it seems to me that the Obama supporters that have hated Hillary this whole time are now supporting her…why, because they know Obama cannot win the GE without her. It’s amazing watching the Obamabots suck up! LOL !

Lighten up people.
You debate like a bunch of neocons.

It will be a powerful ticket if Clinton
decided to be Obama’s vice-presidential
candidate.It’s about time the primary
voting should be put on rest and the
democrats must be united under Obama-Clinton ticket to defeat the Republicans.I believe the Obama-Clinton
ticket will be a huge landlide,perhaps
the biggest mandate in US political
history.With Obama capturing the black
votes and the youths, while Clinton the
whites, women and ethnic groups, how can
Mccain possibly win?

Trust me, unless she concedes and says she is done she is just using this as cheap campaign time until the convention where she and her crew will make a stink.
If asked to be VP she will stall and use this as a reason to make it more like her Presidency by trying to force his hand on issues and sharing power. Unless she concedes there is no deal here to be made. Look what being on a Clinton ticket did for Al Gore’s political aspirations.

Anthony: Kerry, Richardson and Biden are looking for spots in Obama’s administration if he is elected president. But that hasn’t happpened yet. Now, if Hillary doesn’t get the nomination, she should run as an independent to knock out Obama as president. After all her and McCain are good friends just on opposite sides. I wouldn’t blame her I would do the same. The DNC didn’t do her any favors so its payback time now. Who cares about the democrats winning.

no one has answered my question yet im waiting dont you think if they all thought hillary was a better canidate she would be in obamas place right now
Posted by: angie
===========================================
Maybe you haven’t noticed; she’s not in Obama’s place right now, because she’s way beyond it, in the numbers, in experience, in knowledge, in character and in class (meaning she’s got a lot more of it than Obama).
The “Super Delegates” are being manipulated by the DNC, or specifically and publicly by Dr. Gov. Dean, Sen. Reid, and Sen. Pelosi. This whole mess is shameful, and it sure makes me glad I am not a Democrat, so that, if Obama does become the Nominee and if Clinton has to stoop to the level of becoming his V.P.(which really is nonsense, or a ploy for time), then I, being an Independent, can vote Republican in good conscience.

WOW, the Hillary supporters can’t seem to understand the FACT that Obama won the majority of the delegates. You Dems couldn’t understand it when Bush won even though ALGORE had garnered the popular vote. I guess you will do anything or say anything to support your liberal/commie positions; the rules don’t seem to apply to you.
Well…until now.
Who would have thought, the Democrats only way to lose the Presidential election this year was to nominate a black or a woman. BAHAHAHAHAH

The end is near. The lion is lying with the lamb.
However, I dont think its a good idea for Obama.

There is no way I will vote for Obama!!!!! I will vote for McCain. am a white woman 66 years old and I have learned a lot of wisdom in my life. I can see through Obama for so many reasons. He is not president material. He does not have a clue about the job of being president!! I don’t trust him and that is a VERY GOOD REASON NOT TO VOTE FOR HIM.
He does not know anything about how to deal with Iran for one thing and that scares me to death.
Maggie

The way I see it, this election hinges on whether Hillary supporters are honest, moral people.
If they are liars like Hillary, then they will vote for Obama and Obama will win. If they are true to their word (which will be highly unlikely considering they supported a candidate who is by all accounts, the most prolific liar to ever run for President), then McCain will win.
We shall see!

I look forward to Obama and Clinton together from this point forward.Remember the debate when they embraced. They look good together!
Obama/Clinton 08
WINNING TICKET!!!!!

Dave, you’ve out and out lied about a couple of things here. If you want your candidate to win, supporters need to start winning well. That means acknowledging the great job the competitor did and what an asset she IS and will continue to BE. Otherwise, you are stoking the flames of people who honest to God won’t vote Obama.

Clinton has not “earned the right” to anything. If anything, it seems the American public has earned the right to a break from the Clinton’s daily anguish diary.

The democrats better get this done. Otherwise, they are toast. Rumor is, McCain is considering Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for his VP. If Hillary is not on our ticket, we are toast, ya’ll!

I don’t understand Hilary supporters voting for McCain if she’s not the nominee. If you support Clinton, hopefully it’s because of the where she stands on the major issues. Assuming that’s the case, voting for McCain (who is the polar opposite of Clinton on major issues), makes no sense. Its childish and thoughtless. If you can’t bring yourself to support someone named Obama, just stay home. Hopefully over the next 8 years, you will become more enlightened and cultured and understand how backwards the “if not Clinton, then McCain” way of thinking really is.

Obama will NEVER take Hillary as his VP!
She would kill him and become president!
Obama does NOt trust the Clintions!

Interesting remark Mariann Pepitone…so about 2 minutes of some Reverend ranting means Obama sat in the pews all that time? Considering how often Hillary wore pants suits..I never once saw her wear a lapel flag pin. Oh ya that’s right she proved her loyalty to the country with that sniper fire she survived in Bosnia and the peace she single handedly established in Ireland.
P.S. I got that from reading….LMAO

By the way that embarrassing pleading above isn’t me.

The witch is dead!
LOL
Obama 2008!

Please, PLEASE, do NOT let her on the ticket as VP. His whole campaign will come undone. Clintons are not famous for “sharing”.

The only ones who want Clinton on the ticket are the Clintons… not their supporters… They wanted her on the top of the ticket… They’ll graciously accept anyone who Obama wants… and they’ll vote Democratic for genuine fears what McCain could do to them… for women, remove “choice”. For Latins, ship them out of the country, detainment camps. For other minorities, no opportunites… less money for important social programs… So, let some time pass to cool down. Obama will announce in a month or so… and it may be a woman as VP but it won’t be Hillary. D.

Hey Hail2skins91 I’m surprised at how many Obama supporters’ disrespect Hillary and think he (Obama) can win without her supporters.

Yes Hillary supporters are dumb enough to vote for McCain. If she runs with Obama, there is no doubt I will vote for McCain. Surely she won’t betray her supporters. She has been treated like dirt and he doesn’t deserve her support. Doesn’t change my mind about him at all. I’ll say it again, if all of you who thinks he’s so great watch your taxes, social security, anything whites love go down the drain. He’s a white man’s puppet and will destroy our country. I’m convinced none of them care for anybody but themselves and making history.
McCain 08

anders scooper—–yes he does like war forever tax cuts for people that can afford to pay the tax,no health care for all no minimum wage increase to get the working class out of poverty. yes those are some good core values did you know that it is said hell is at the core of the earth and that is what republican core values are straight from hell.

I sympathize with Hillary but if the Dems want to win she has to drop out. Her looming and intense drive to overthrow Obama is like an albatros around his neck. She needs to let him go for the good of our country.

i believe that hillary should step aside tomorrow and acknowledge obama as the nominee. she should do it with grace and dignity. after that she and bill should take a good long vacation. she should not be a part of the obama ticket and under no circumstances should she endorse obama. let this man stand on his own merits or lack of them. he will be beaten by a landslide in the general. after all of the backstabbing, lack of loyality, and dishonesty by the dem. party towards the clintons, they owe the party nothing.

SOme of you anti-Bill Clinton people need to explain to me what was so bad about his presidency. Gas was held to 1.60 per gallon we had a national budget that was very good. We had jobs and income. That was bad? Under the repub’s all we have had are 936+ lies about Iraq, Halliburton and VP Cheney, a budget deficit that is much, much too large, a failing economy and a disastrous housing market & $4 a gallon gas…just to name a few things.

Obama’s Vp is the only way for Clinton to be President. Obama is certainly inexperienced if he takes that chance.

Dave:You said it right. Obama’s supporters were probably numerous college students that are on drugs and booze as he was in his college days. Their ignorance shows up by their campaign messages. Obama will win the nomination tonight by the way it looks because of Dean, Nancy and Reid. They all went behind the scenes to convince the superdelegates to vote for Obama because they didn’t want Hillary to get the nomination. Dean should be fired and Nancy should step down. She was bad news from the start.

obama planned his campaign to win the Democratic nomination…..Hillary planned her campaign to win the White House….

I will be sitting this election out either way.I’ll never vote for Obama. I’ll be staying home. And I’m not a sore loser, I’m an independent thinker.I vote for the canidate that mirrors my own politics and beleifs. I don’t see that in either canidate. McCain has character, but I don’t agree with his politics.Obama, well I have several issues with him, the most important being I have no idea what he believes in and I don’t think he does either. His arrogance reminds me of Bush.And the pastor problem sent me over the edge. With a majority dem congress, I’ll suffer through 4 years of McCain. I look forward to 2012.

not that it wasn’t impossible before, but the more obama’s “supporters” disrespect the Clintons, the more impossible it is for obama to win in November

My God, some of you are already blaming Hillary supporters for Obama’s loss in November and threatening she won’t be able to run again. Do you hear how stupid you sound. WHEN OBAMA LOSES IN NOVEMBER IT WILL BE HIS OWN DOING AND HORRIFIC JUDGEMENT IN FRIENDS/ASSOCIATES! AMERICANS DON’T DIG ANTI-AMERICANS!

Obama has NO core values! NO patriotism at all!
Hillary is at least somebody we know!
I will have to vote for John McCain and I hope that Obama won’t pick Hillary as his VP!

Barack Obama is not yet the nominee. He is the presumptive nominee until voted on at the convention in August. Nothing changes, today, tomorrow, this week. Hillary has 3 months to make her point, and by then the Obama honeymoon will be over. Let Barack and McCain duel for while. Hillary will be seen as a savior. And what if something does drop against Michelle Obama tomorrow?

This isn’t really news! She lost the race several months ago now. She just wouldn’t admit it to herself.

for those that like to tout that 17 million votes…Obama also has over 17 million votes and he doesn’t have to do any soft math to do it.

Just a neutral question to the general public:
Does the fact that Hillary has so boldly fought on through this race in order to achieve what she wants, ignoring the financial happening known as “debt”, severed many relations, and disregard to the Democratic party as a whole, mean anything about her potential as president?
Just throwing that out there, though I could be totally wrong. I guess I’m still shell-shocked from the last 8 years.

Mariann,
Hillary is certainly within her right to run as an independent, but she won’t win the presidency simply because she fragments the democratic party and splits the voting base. This essentially guarantees McCain winning the White House. All you need do is look back a few years to see an example of this (2000 Election: Nader ran as an independent and took about 7% of the democratic votes away from Al Gore).

Obama/Clinton ticket is good for many reasons:
1/ It symbolizes unity – between old-new politics, race, sexism, different ideologies – to meet new challenges (that is one of the key ingredients to Obama political platform).
2/ One should not expect old politics will go away once Obama is in place. Obama definitely needs a smart and strong woman with lots of presidential experience like Hillary to reach his political goals. it wont be easy.
Obama phenomena is a party platform full of people sharing the same ideal for a new America, it is not a single person’s idea. Therefore, HRC will have to get along to succeed.

NO Not another Clinton we need hard change in the white house. I will vote for Mcain and not Obama if she is on the ticket.

Congratulations to Senator Obama on winning his race, and to Hillary for her tenacity and energy!!
NOW WE MUST CRUSH THE REPUBLICANS.

I am don’t understand why Mrs Clinton won’t just drop out of the race. I was going to vote for Obama BUT if Hillary is going to be on the ticket with Obama i and many others will vote for John McCain.
Thank you
Ricky

I understand that a lot of Hillary supporters are pissed after listening to us rub his inevitable victory in their mathematically-challenged faces for three months—but, really, what has he ever done or said to get your ire up? He’s gone out of his way to be tremendously respectful and complimentary of her at every turn. And of course his underlings criticize her. That’s politics. Do we hate Hillary for questioning his character and pandering for the last three months? No, the vast majority of us say we’d vote for her when polled. I suppose it’s the intellectual crowd verses the mouth-breathers. Oh well. You folks belong in the republican party if you’re dumb enough to think McCain is the Women’s Rights candidate.

You need to read a couple of books on cause and effect. I think you logic is warped.

I Agree – Well, I agree, and also what made a big difference for me was that when she got behind she used the same kind of twisted logic that I saw in Bush. Saying that MI and FL would not count prior to New Hampshire and then saying that they need to count later. I got the impression that I was being used (I’m in MI). She didn’t care about me, she cared about her campaign. Not admitting mistakes, just like Bush-think. Saying very deceptive things like “more people have voted for me than any other candidate” which at first is a half-truth under condition, and then using that half truth as an entire argument. Isn’t that how we got sucked down the War on Terror & Iraq War hole?
I just never saw that deception to any extent in Obama.

I’m an Obama supporter but I think Hillary is exchausted — anyone would be at this point — and should be given some time to make her choice. She’s earned it! I’m glad that Obama is being very respectful of Hillary. It’s been a tough fight and everyone is tired. Gte some sleep and then decide.
But in November, due to issues like Iraq, Roe v Wade, health care, I’m sure all conscientious Democrats will come back to the fold. I’m sure Hillary will be working hard in November, one way or another. The issues are too important this time.

Obama. Congratulations!!! White House is certain. Continue to dazzle your opponents with great and kind words.

How can any democrat rationally vote for John McCain in Nov. Stay home, possibly, but vote for someone that supports the exact opposite of what your party believes in?! This is why we have an electoral college people.

It is really too bad that of the best two candidates that our party can offer us… neither one is qualified (experience-wise) to hold the office.
Sad days are these. Mickey Mouse could beat any Republican in 2008, and I’m not sure Obama can.

I am a Republican who voted for Hillary, so it’s easy to support McCain. I think Hillary was the best candidate and more competitive against McCain and wouldn’t mine whoever won with that match-up. OBAMA makes me want to move to Denmark. He is a lousy American candidate and I have done my homework…so don’t try to convince me any different, or throw your little scare tactic on me. I am a Rep. who has always voted whoever in the General (usually a Republican…like to be with the winning party…did vote Bill).
When Obama gives his circus speech in St. Paul tonight, I’ll be cleaning out my sock drawer…I can’t listen to his Baptist preacher style or arrogant teleprompter speeches. He is so distasteful to me…when his face is on the TV, I turn to another channel.

Why would Obama want to weaken his Presidential position by A) picking his rival opponent as his running mate, and B) picking as his running mate the person (i.e. Clinton) who embarrassed him a month ago by suggesting the he, the delegate leader, should be the VP under HER (who was well behind Obama in delegate count). Obama would be a fool to pick his opponent Clinton as his running mate. He would be the laughing stock of politics. Not only that, but Obama can do much better than Clinton as his VP.

One of the things I’ve noticed in the margins and thought significant:  The Clintons’ campaign has been promoting the idea that Hillary can deliver “the Hispanic vote”.
  1)  I don’t think that’s true.  I think Hillary was their favorite on account of their history with Bill, but Obama is acceptable to most.
  2)  McCain is going to be more popular with Hispanics than any other Republican would have been, don’t matter what Hillary does.
  They’ll vote for Obama or McCain pretty much as the spirit moves them, pretty much independent of whether Hillary is in Obama’s #2 slot.
I just don’t think she’s got the weight to swing the Hispanic vote as the spirit moves her.
And….  I find it significant that the Clintons are trotting out such fallacies in an attempt to bolster her shot at the veep spot.
She wants it!

Hillary Supporters who would vote for McCain are saying that this one woman is more important than all of the women whose reproductive rights will be lost under a McCain presidency, and they are saying that this one woman is more important than the thousands of troops that would be trapped in Iraq under a McCain presidency. What has she done for you that you would be willing to sacrifice our sons and daughters for her? Has she done anything for you as women that is more important than millions of women and thousands of men. What?

Obama is the nominee and has the right to chose the vice-president. I hope he won’t chose Hillary.
A good portion of Hillary voters will vote Democrat anyway and the rest might not vote for Obama even if Hillary is on the ticket.

She won’t concede, she is determine to ruin the democratic ticket by making it seem that Obama needs her as VP in order to win the hispanic vote. I am hispanic. She has not my vote got. She is after the hispanics that do not get informed that is the hispanic vote she got. She cannot bare to see herself not in the white house.

It’s funny to see Obama haters dress up their hate.
They’ve called him a thug, a puppet, a phony, a liar, arrogant, elitist, un-American, etc.
In psychology, they have a word for this: projection!

Joe…thanks for the laugh about the photo op of Obama and watermelon growers. KFC endorses him too.

Hilary should be on the ticket but make sure she does windows because the White House needs to be clean for her master.

I am a liberal Democrat. I am not a socialist, nor will I ever vote for one. My vote will be cast for John McCAin, because even though he labels himself a Republican, his principles and positions are that of a liberal Democrat. I will vote issues, not a cult of personality. Barack Obama is a marketing image put forth by those with a socialist agenda. He will not get my vote.

This is all very concerning. A Dem president and congress could enact some very draconian labor laws which would over time bring us closer to a European economic system. As a result, my investment firm has liquidated most assets and is looking abroad (Brazil) for opportunities.

Socialist Sycophants one and all. Take Obama or Hillary, move south and declare your own country. Run it into the ground with your big gov ideas. Who will pay the taxes for all of the giveaway programs you all are addicted to? Keep at it people. Atlas was right when he shrugged.

How has Hillary worked harder? She started with a huge lead, and he made up the gap and won WITHOUT MONEY FROM LOBBYISTS, PACS, AND SPECIAL INTERESTS. He was supported by THE PEOPLE, and will represent them in Washington!
Hillary ran a good race, but she’s done now, and her supporters need to consider where they want this country to go. If they really care about the causes Hillary does–ending the war, universal health care, etc.–they’ll vote for Obama. Voting for McCain or not voting at all will only cause America to be hurt even more than it already is.
I’m an Obama supporter through and through, and I worked on his campaign, but had he lost, I would have put aside my emotions and worked for Hillary, because even though I think Obama would be a better president, policy-wise they’re too similar for me to put my emotions about the candidates before what’s best for America.
I ask all Clinton supporters to think carefully about what they want for America and which candidate will deliver before casting their votes.

Despite what the lobbyist stuffed McCain campaign says, there is no question this country would be far worse off with John McCain in the WH.
He will lie about Obama, as he has, and dissemble, as is his want. Mr. “Straight-talk” will never say how he’ll get this “victory” in Iraq that only he can see. He hasn’t been forthright about his intentions vis a vis Iran. A hint: love the draft-age people in your life like it’s their last day because with a president John McCain, it would be. Women can forget about being sovereign beings with a President McCain as he has already stated his intention to appoint supreme court justices in the Roberts/Scalia mold. The economy? Oh it can get much much worse. John McCain would make proving that look horribly and regrettably easy.
Barack Obama has shown a strong-willed tenacity, resilience and the ability to beat the best. And his judgment has proven correct on a number of important foreign policy ideas. Much more promising than anything McCain has daned to reveal about his “vision.”
Barack Obama has a beautiful vision for our country and the proven ability to bring people together and inspire them to action. He would change our country’s image for the better forever over-night.
The Obama Doctrine of muscular diplomacy, backed by the full majesty and resources available to the potus, with even our worst enemies, is the future. The Bush years have been an unmitigated disaster for this country and especially for our military and their families. The limits to preemption are clearly real and have proven inadequate to the long-term protection of the United States. In fact, it’s unconvincing to say anything less than, “preemption has made us less secure.”
I, along with millions of other red-blooded Americans, totally believe Barack Hussein Obama will make a great president. Watch him GROW!
Obama O8

“Vote a man or a vote a puppet”
Who, exactly, are Obama’s puppetmasters? P.A.C.s, lobbyists, and special interests, like every other politician? Oh wait…he didn’t accept money from any of them!
These comments show an overwhelming amount of hate towards Obama, while Obama supporters are, for the most part, respectful toward Clinton.
Keep proving them wrong through respectful words and actions, Obama supporters!
–An “Obamabot” who has thought through the issues, considered the state of America, and made her decision!

… the funny thing is Jimmy Carter endorsed him, you know, the guy who goes to other countries to make sure their voting processes are fair?? The irony…
Rise, Hillary, Rise!’08
A Proud, Black, Hillary Supporter
(It ain’t over until the lady in the pantsuit says so!)

Operation CHAOS!!!!

angie,
Have you ever been exposed to punctuation and grammar, or are they no longer part of the politically correct curriculum.

Obama is a scary guy. I would never vote for him. He is racist as seen by the people he is friends with and has spent years listening to and sexist as seen by the way he talks to women (Sweetie) and talks about Hillary.

The “witch” is back and she is going to take it the convention!
Rise, Hillary, Rise!’08

(It ain’t over until the lady in the pantsuit says so!)

Obama will never win the presidency. Hillary had a chance at it, but now she’s out. When most white Southern Democrats vote in November, it won’t be for Obama. This will become the most bitter presidential campaign in our history. I’m keeping my head down for the next six months.

Hillary & Obama are polarizing characters — not good for each other. Hillary as VP would be a damaging and transparent move demonstrating a lack of courage and vision by Obama. His message appeals to the naive or youth — it’s like listening to someone talk about what a beautiful mansion they want to build, the landscaping, the furniture . . . but when it comes time to look at the architectural drawings, the financial plan, the experience building, etc., there’s nothing! Just another dreamer who has a nice voice — should have been an actor!
McCain is not my favorite, however he is highly qualified in that he has an extensive and consistent voting record; he understands the dynamics of the Congress and what it takes to work with the opposition constructively and respectfully; he has sacraficed greatly for his country — over 5 years as a POW with a broken back and broken shoulders, enduring horrendous torture — then coming home to continue being a strong and productive citizen; and most importantly he is not a lawyer!
I have faith that most folks will think of country before party pride, and ask themselves, “Who can actually get something accomplished in a bi-partisan spirit.”

I love the Republican supporters trying to lure the Clinton supporters into voting for McCain or for sitting out the General Election. I can see a pro-choice woman voting for a candidate who favors limits on reproductive choices. I can see then allowing such a candidate to win in November.
Please Republicans: there is enough time to trick upset Clinton supporters to vote against their interests. I guess that this is going to be a long five months.

Hey “jerry,” what makes you so sure that “Felix” or his comments are actually real or as presented? Or that he’s an Obama supporter since he never stated that.
I think YOU are “Felix.”

Robert,
I stand corrected. Proportional representation… Hmmm… How about good old fashioned anarchism (not anarchy)… social order without government. People of the World unite! Throw the bums out with the bathwater.

I really have to agree with OnTheGloryRoad (post above). It’s not a new argument, but such an important one, and one that s/he put forward quite well. I’ll paraphrase below, and add a bit, to smooth out the rough edges.
OnTheGloryRoad: “Two qualified, well spoken, articulate, educated, Christian and very tired Democrats went before the nation and took all kinds of crap…”
Me: We should respect both individuals for their efforts and for their persons. The hate expressed by Obama supports for Clintan, and Clinton supporters for Obama…it just isn’t useful. Nor is it warranted: both are good people. If we met them on the street, we’d think them intelligent, determined, and impressive individuals. Let’s give them BOTH the respect they deserve.
OnTheGloryRoad: “To heck with the nation, too heck with the men and women in Iraq, too heck with the men and women in Afghanistan, to heck with the national fiscal disaster, to heck with education, to heck with health insurance, too heck with the richer becoming fifthy rich at the price of this nation, too heck with next Supreme Court justice who will overturn Roe v Wade, to heck with the next generation(s) [that will need to] contend with the mess this Administration passes on – too heck with it all.”
Me: I understand that people feel strongly about the democratic nomination. I really do – and I think that the strength of people’s opinions is a fantastic thing: that this many new people have gotten back into politics suggests that this country may be about to turn things around.
But we still have to keep things in perspective. There are more important things than whether your nominee wins or loses. And I’m not belittling anyone’s desires…I’m simply saying that there *are more important things*.
This country needs help. This country NEEDS to stop spending money on this war. Think, just for a moment, about what the money that has gone to this war could have been spent on. Think of what could have been done to our education system. To our health care system. To our roads. To our transportation systems. To our ability to provide college students with loans. To our ability to fund new scientific research and development. To our ability to subsidize our own oil drilling. It’s almost incalcuable what this country has lost because of this war.
This is more important than Obama. This is more important than Hillary. This is more important than the first black, or the first woman, in the white house.
And it’s not just a bit more important. It’s so much more important as to make anyone that tries to argue otherwise a complete blathering idiot.
Don’t be an idiot. If you support the general principles of Hillary/Obama (and I can combine them because they are nearly the same principles!) then please, please, please, please, please, put your own current disappointment aside and vote for the candidate that is going to be best for this country.
Which is not McCain.
I know right now Clinton supporters are angry and disappointed. And some of them think that they are going to “teaching those Obama supporters a lesson” by switching to McCain. But you won’t be teaching them a lesson. You’ll be shooting yourself in the foot. You’ll be sentencing this country to four more years of fiscal irresponsibility.
You’ll be being an idiot.

Jason, So you think the only reason woman vote democrate is because they want the right to get an abortion? Good Lord…Sexism at it’s best…Believe it or not we do vote on other important issues and some of us don’t support roe v. wade anyhow…neanderthaw…

When she claims having the most popular votes, there ought to be an asterisk to count all of those votes cast because of Operation Chaos. Limbaugh must be laughing his head off!

ENOUGH OF HILARY. Talk about racism, when in history has a presidential candidate been forced to put the looser the ticket?
I voted for Obama because I did not want HIlary Clinton in the White House and still don’t. Good night Bill and Hilary. Game Over!

UHHH….Obama is the presumptive nominee.He hasn’t won yet. No one is forcing Obama to do anything. He would have a better chance with her on the ticket. Obama supporters will never abandon him no matter who he chooses. Don’t you trust his judgement?

Bea, it’s not Obama’s judgment we question, it’s Hillary AND Bill’s. Having those TWO back in the WH would be unsettling and distracting to say the least. Hillary gave Obama a legitimate out by raising the spectre of an assassination 3 times. Talk about bad political sense, not to mention misreading the cycle badly and running a divisive and ineffective campaign.
And after her distinctly combative and snottily ungracious non-concession speech tonite, she has completely disqualified herself. That’s a good thing.
Besides, the last thing any new president needs is Bill Clinton accompaning Hillary, vp, everywhere she goes and sucking the air out of any message or image the president would be trying to cultivate. Bill Clinton is STILL unable to control his baser impulses apparently. His presence would be simply untenable. And let’s face it, without the co-dependence, Hillary would be a far bigger wreck than she already is. Those two really need each other in some very unhealthy ways. But noone else does.

don’t be fooled, she feels this is her only shot, she does not want the veep she wants the presidency she is buying trying to see if the obama-ites go for the bait remember she is the britney spears of politics

I don’t understand what is in your head that makes you all hate President Bush so much. He has stood firm against the radical muslims who would attack us. We have not been attacked since 9/11 in any serious way. He has stood firm on Iraq and stability is finally being achieved. WMD’s were in Iraq – about 300 chemical weapons. Ironic how the liberal press refuses to print this. And yes, Iraq was developing drone planes that could be used for chemical or biological attack against the US — the Iraqi’s claimed that it was to be used on attacks against Israel. The Russian special forces came into Iraq and cleaned out ??? just before we came into Iraq. The US has photographs of these trucks, which went into Syria.
And if Bush had NOT gone into Iraq when we did, we may be facing a nuclear Iraq. They had enough yellow-cake urianium to make about 30 nukes. So we would be forced to go into Iraq at some future date anyway and would be faced with the same problem we face today. Iraq was not a threat? You got to be kidding. Saddam had an intense hatred of the US. He tried to kill Bush I. He supplied the forces to kill our troups in Somalia – records in Iraq indicate this. Saddam had his men meet with al qaida and he was impressed with their attack. He even harbored al qaida in Iraq and provided training for terrorists — that is what FrontLine said. Interesting how Frontline has become a political monster against the War in Iraq the last 6 years or so.
Hillary helped position Chinese spies in our government at the height of her White Water scandal – they provided the hush money for Hubbel to keep him quiet.
Obama is a racist at heart – though he positions himself as a unifier. He views America as the problem of the world and fails to see the good we have done. He is going to negotiate with terrorists and have a straight flush pulled against him, when he finds out Iran or another radical Muslim state has nukes ready to detonate in our key cities. He will probably pull out his muslim hat and try to negotiate with them.
You Dems are a real case!

If it’s any indication Hillary will not be on the ballot because she is too much of a distraction for Obama. I think you will see Hillary as secretary of state or some healthcare department. Obama will choose a hawk for VP but it wont be clinton. I like to think it will be Richardson.

I don’t think she’ll take the VP job because they will then have to disclose the contributors to their library and that they do not want to do.

She needs time to catch her breath? Is that what she would say when “the phone rings at 3am”. The country spoke loud and clear last night but Hillary refused to take the call.

I don’t believe that stuff about “catching her breath”….she’s furious at the way things have turned out, and she’s going to play the waiting game and let the suspense build up. That way, the attention is all on her and what she’s going to do.
Obama better not put her on the ticket. He’ll end up with TWO Vice Presidents, both bent on his destruction.
